When you find comfort in owning 12 pairs of blue jeans in near-identical washes, I see you because, for the higher a part of 20 years, I was you. But, for me, that is the summer of streamlining: my home, my closet, my beauty cabinet… I need less that does more. So, you’ll be able to imagine my delight upon discovering a makeup product that might sit squarely at the middle of a Venn diagram comparing highlighter, blush, and bronzer: Saie Glow Sculpt.

For individuals who make their living from having a way with words, Allure editors (myself included) struggled to place their fingers on exactly tips on how to characterize this glow-giving cream. Is it a pigmented highlighter? A highlighting blush? Though the jury’s still out on one of the best descriptor, we will say one thing obviously: For its ability to bring light and life to our faces in a single swipe, Saie Glow Sculpt is greater than worthy of our coveted One to Watch seal. Below, all the things it is advisable find out about it — plus our unfiltered before and afters.

It seems I’m not the one proponent of maximal minimalism (as in, having fewer things that do more). Like all Saie products, Glow Sculpt was created in response to consumers’ demands. It’s why the brand is pronounced “say,” explains founder Laney Crowell: “You say it, we create it.”

“Now we have a non-public Facebook group with over 6,000 members,” continues Crowell. “And so they had been asking us for a product that was multiuse.” But as a substitute of just creating, say, a rosy balm that might be applied to eyes, cheeks, and lips, Crowell and her team focused on delivering the brand’s signature glow in latest ways.

“We desired to create a contemporary highlighter,” says Colleen Timpone, Saie’s vp of product development. That meant the addition of tint and the absence of disco ball-like sparkle, she says.

When you’re a fan of the brand’s best-selling Glowy Super Gelright about now you are probably wondering how Glow Sculpt compares — and in the event you really want one other highlighter. “Glowy Super Gel is a [liquid] product you can use throughout your face,” says Timpone. “It may offer you beautiful luminosity, almost like you simply got a very beautiful facial.” Glow Sculpt, nonetheless, is a cream meant for targeted application. The formula imparts more sheen than Glowy Super Gel, but — to Timpone’s point — is decidedly un-disco-y. The actual difference between the 2 products, though, is the tint.
